Compared to shiny glass, the matte glass almost never picks up fingerprints unless your fingers are really greased up or slathered over the Apple logo, which if you’re paying close attention, has moved to the middle of the backside. The “iPhone” text has also been removed on the iPhone 11 Pros and iPhone 11 because, come on, everyone knows what an iPhone is.

There were rumors that the Apple logo was supposed to double as a marker for wirelessly charging AirPods or an Apple Watch, but Apple never announced any “reverse” or “bilateral” wireless charging feature. There are skeptics who believe Apple intended to ship the feature, but disabled reverse wireless charging due to heat issues, and may activate it in a future software update.

A person familiar with the matter told me it’s not something the company included and the inevitable teardowns of the phones won’t reveal any special coil for it. This highly positioned person at Apple also reminded me not to take all rumors as truth. So take that for what you will.

Another small, but perceivable change: the iPhone 11 Pros are a hair thicker in all directions and heavier. Somewhere, Jony Ive is in tears. The iPhone 11 Pros are definitely weightier — the iPhone 11 Pro is 0.39 ounces heavier than the iPhone XS and the iPhone 11 Pro Max is 0.63 ounces heavier than the iPhone XS Max — but in a good way, especially without a case on.

While I truly miss the days of the seemingly feather-light iPhone 6, the iPhone 11 Pros feel solid and dense the same way a premium mechanical watch like my Omega Speedmaster Professional does. Tons of phones now sport the same metal-and-glass sandwich design, but not all of them feel, for lack of a better word, engineered. There’s no hollow “thwack” sound when you tap the back of an iPhone 11 Pro like there is on metal-and-glass phones.
